Yesterday, US officials "urged" Israel to prevent further deaths of Palestinian civilians. Today, more than 700 Palestinians were killed—one of the highest death tolls yet—as Israeli forces increased bombing of civilian areas in southern Gaza. https://t.co/qyHMjSpV4o

Spoke on the Urban Question in a press conference in #cop28 and about brining more scientific and ethical integrity in the discussion on #cities and climate change

My comment on the draft decision text on the Loss and Damage Fund

"The new draft decision text on operationalizing the Loss and Damage Fund mirrors the Transitional Committee's final recommendations. However, this decision falls short of fully addressing developing nations' concerns, including the proposal to designate the World Bank as an interim host.

"While the decision’s adoption at COP28 is likely, it is crucial to simultaneously enhance its financial scope—necessitating hundreds of billions of dollars annually—and establish a process for initial capitalisation and periodic replenishment. This step is essential to efficiently channel funds to those battling climate catastrophes. Moreover, the ongoing Global Stocktake (GST) and discussions about the new climate finance goal must address these significant gaps.

"The World Bank has, in principle, agreed to the conditions proposed by developing countries, which include enhanced access and independent decision-making for the fund. It must be held accountable to revise its policies to meet these commitments and to effectively deliver finance to vulnerable communities and countries during its tenure. Any deviation from these commitments must result in the World Bank losing its role as the interim host of the new fund."

My reaction to the new OECD report on Climate Finance and the USD 100 Billion Goal

"The recent OECD report, indicating that rich countries have likely met their $100 billion climate finance target in 2022, reveals a bitter inequity. The prevalent approach to climate finance, dominated by loans instead of grants, increases the debt burden on developing nations and cuts down vital adaptation finance.

"While developing countries are pressed to ramp up their emission reduction efforts, they are deprived of substantial and genuine assistance. This 'support' mostly comes in the form of loans, exacerbating financial disparities. In a stark contradiction, rich countries continue their heavy investments in fossil fuel expansion, the root cause of the climate crisis. This paradox underscores the gross injustice at the heart of global climate policy.

"In reality, developing countries are largely left to grapple on their own, facing not only the challenges of transitioning to greener economies but also the severe impacts of climate change. This situation is exacerbated by the global climate discourse, which, steered by wealthy nations, exhibits a significant lack of real commitment to justice and equity. Therefore, it is imperative that rich countries radically shift their approach, focusing on providing substantive support rather than resorting to symbolic gestures."

Capitalism perpetrates an egregious misallocation of labour, and prevents us from producing socially and ecologically necessary things. If we want to fix our broken world, we must gain democratic control of our productive capacities:

Despite posing itself as a positive space for development, the #SDGSummit continues to be a talkshop of states & development actors regarding the urgency to meet Agenda 2030. What urgent steps must be taken to achieve the SDGs? 🤔

#SDGSummit2023 50 year old failed promise of ODA has robbed LMICs of $5.6 T? This can eradicate extreme poverty many times over!

[Ajay K Jha @ajay_z]

#SDGSummit2023 energy produced by 1 barrel oil equals 50000 hours of human labour in the global south, even @ $20 per hour this is $ 1 M. Does any partnership accounts for this injustice and unequal exchange?
#aprcem #aprn

[Ajay K Jha @ajay_z]

#SDGSummit2023 we are taking climate inequality to 2050 and beyond. Per capita income and energy consumption in LMICs even in 2050 will stay far below current levels in HICs.

[Ajay K Jha @ajay_z]

#SDGSummit2023 halfway there but nowhere near. we are still failing to address systemic issues, LICs having most needs are being involved in less than half of the partnerships as against HICs.
